Draft Grade — Raiders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Raiders a B-, Jones and all.

When a board-topper like Jarrian Jones slides to the 210th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Raiders did not. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

If Rattler pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
No edge and no loss on Taliese Fuaga in Round 1, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick44 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold at pick No. 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at No. 113, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Cedric Gray in the 147th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the 210th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in slot 221, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They let Josh Proctor come to them and pounced at pick 225. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick227 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
A tidy bit of business in slot 227, where Michael Barrett graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
